John,
What is your point? Just because you are an expert in the biology of
trees doesn't mean that you are an expert in the politics of the management
and use of natural resources. If a forest is managed solely for the optimum
health of the trees, without regard to the needs of those doing the
managing, then you might as well put the forests in preserves. That way we
can rape the Amazon basin for all our wood needs and not have to worry about
having sub-optimal forest stands in the US.
